*** weather.gov/spot open request status ***
Hello, this is a new STQ notification product that will remind you
to deal with pending requests within your service area on the
http://weather.gov/spot/monitor/?wfo=car page.
Below is a list of incidents that are in request pending status and
may need a forecast. For each of these incidents, you have these
options...
1) If it is a test incident generated by someone in your office,
then delete the incident. No need to generate a forecast for this
incident.
2) Customers occasionally submit multiple requests for the same
incident, instead of using the Change Request functionality.
If you only need to post a forecast to only one of the requests,
then delete the request(s) that will not get a forecast posted to
it.
3) Customers occasionally submit illegal requests on the website,
like for a private prescribed burn. In this case, just delete the
request.
4) Customers may have unintentually run "Copy Info into New Request
for This Incident" link. You do not want to delete such requests,
because forecasts have been posted against the incident. If the
incident is finished, then Close/Archive the incident. Otherwise,
edit the incident and sent the deliver date/time to when the next
forecast is needed.
5) Certain messages state that you have up to x minutes to complete
the forecast. If this is a valid request, then work on the forecast
and try to meet the deadline specified by the customer.
6) Certain messages state that you are minutes, hours, days late in
filling a forecast request. If a valid request, then I would post
a forecast. However, the customer might have entered the wrong
forecast deliver date/time. If that is the case, then run the
Change Request link on website and fix it. Otherwise delete request
Please consult your Fire Weather Focal Point before taking any of
these actions above. Each office will have its own policy to address
pending incidents on the new website.
